Chapter 122: Water Silk
"We have a lot of weaving in Jiangnan here, and it's different from the finished fabrics we see every day, most of which are extraordinarily fine in the stitches. Madame should know that any batch of handmade cloth that comes out of their hands is worth the money. Cheng Yuru said mildly.
Madame Yun already vaguely understood what she was going to say.
"There is a kind of hand-woven cloth called water silk, I wonder if Madame has heard of it?"
Madame Yun fell silent, she had naturally heard of this water silk, and the price of one horse was twice as much as the brocade silk they wanted now.
Not only that, the silk is more delicate and softer than the brocade.
In addition, as Cheng Yuru said, although brocade silk looks expensive, it can only be cut into small pieces when it is made into clothing, and it will look tacky if it is used too much.
But water silk is completely different.
It has a soft texture and a very light color, so there is no problem with using it as a base.
"Even if that's the case, can you pay for it?" She was angry in her heart, deliberately looking for trouble, and even if she knew that there was a solution, she refused to speak in a good voice.
"We promise Madame that tonight, we will give the eight pieces of cloth that are missing." Cheng Yuru's face was still as calm as ever.
Mrs. Yun sneered.
"You think you can get eight horses casually? I think it's just an excuse that you don't want to compensate! ”
Boss Yun felt that she was a little too bullying, so he stepped forward and said, "If these eight pieces of cloth are sent at night, Yun will definitely thank you again." ”
Mrs. Yun was very dissatisfied, and just as she was about to continue, she was grabbed by Boss Yun and hurriedly dragged out.
Her shrill voice grew louder and louder, "You damn thing, what are you doing here?" I'll have to ask them for compensation! ”
"Let me go!"
The footsteps of the two people became smaller and smaller, and Cheng Yuru watched the people walk away, and then turned her head.
"Sister Ying, don't blame me for paying a lot of money."
Lin Ying looked at her with a smile, "It's just twice the price, even if it's five times or ten times, I'll give you a cushion!" ”
After she said this, she thought of the most important thing at the moment.
"It's just that the water silk doesn't seem to be easy to find."
Cheng Yuru stepped forward and comforted her: "When will my sister see me doing something that I am not sure of?" Although the price of water silk is expensive, it is only because of its own characteristics that it is easier to make good-looking clothes, in fact, the weaving process used is not so unusual, and many women in Jiangnan should know this technique. ”
As she spoke, she pushed the person out.
"Although it is not too far from us, we may have to travel for two hours, so we will set off as soon as possible."
Yongning followed directly behind him.
Childe recently instructed them that whenever the adults go far away, they must be followed by someone.
The people in front of me are still discussing what has just happened.
Cheng Yuru found a carriage nearby and selected a group of fast horses with nimble legs.
Yongning directly helped Cheng Yuru carry people into the carriage, and then he turned around and went out to be a coachman.
Lin Ying looked at the person in front of her with emotion, "That kid is young, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person." ”
Cheng Yuru smiled and didn't speak, but a voice sounded outside.
"I'm really not ordinary."
Lin Ying raised her eyebrows in surprise, as if she had reacted to something, "Do you hear so well?" ”
"Within a radius of twenty miles, you can't escape if you drop anything."
Yongning said briskly.
Cheng Yuru was also a little surprised at the moment, when he said this, it seemed that the range was larger than what he could hear before, could it be that he could still train?
Lin Ying secretly exclaimed in her heart, "If you let Song Xiao and the others know, you have to keep your eyes open and ask for a long time." ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yuru thought of the two of them.
"What did she do with Linglong?"
"I asked the person to re-inspect the cloth sent to the next batch of merchants, and I doubt ......"
Before she could say anything, the person on the other side had already nodded knowingly.
"I guess there really is an inner ghost, otherwise, this kind of thing wouldn't be so common."
In fact, the last time the cloth cracked, Cheng Yuru was already suspicious.
Listening to Linglong's description, that piece of cloth was definitely the most expensive in that batch at that time, and there were only two or three horses in total, and one of them had such a big problem.
Later, I learned that although the cloth was not thick, it was not easy to tear. And the crack is very complete, and there is a good chance that it was deliberately cut open.
This time, they simply changed the cloth directly, because they knew their plan last time, so they also changed the way they were framed.
Lin Ying was thinking exactly this in her heart at the moment, and she was also very angry in addition to that.
"Yuru, I don't know what to do. Many of them were from my father's generation. ”
Cheng Yuru was also a little helpless when she heard this.
"Let's talk about it after we catch the ghosts, let's settle tonight's matter first. That person's courage should not be great, and now that Song Xiao is staring, they must know that you are suspicious, and you should not do it again in a short time. ”
Lin Ying originally nodded, but suddenly shook her head again.
"It's not that he's timid, but I suspect he's all premeditated, and he seems to have found a problem every time he traded. Even if he does it, he will definitely wait for the next trading opportunity. ”
Cheng Yuru also nodded after hearing this.
Indeed, the man always saw when they were most anxious. It's just that she can't figure it out a little, and there is no problem with what she said before leaving.
A thought popped into her mind, "It seems that people are mixed in with the people who inspect the cloth." ”
When she said this, she saw Lin Ying looking at her, ready to speak.
Hearing what she said, he withdrew his judgment and nodded.
"That's right." Lin Ying thought of a few old people who were working in the Lin family, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable.
Hopefully not the few people she guessed.
There is something she hasn't said yet, that is, it is very likely that this ghost is not a person at all, but a gang.
Suddenly, I remembered that I and Jin'er had an accident back then, and the two of them have become like this now.
Isn't it, in fact, there were ghosts in the past?
When Cheng Yuru saw her face, she knew that she was in a bad mood, and comforted her softly: "There have always been bad intentions on the left and right, and it's good to catch them." ”
Lin Ying understood that she was worried, and held her hand back, smiling softly.
Sometimes, no one would have thought that a recognized sister would really be like a relative, which warmed her heart.
Gangnam.
When the two of them rushed over, they saw many people hurrying inside.
Most of the people in the crowd were women, Yongning observed, approached and whispered: "Miss, it seems that they are all weavers, with calluses in their hands." ”
Cheng Yuru and Lin Ying both heard it.
They felt that something was wrong, so they hurriedly stopped one and asked, "This young lady, may I ask what is going on?" ”
The person who was stopped had an anxious face on his face, "Today, our cloth was inspected, and many weavers did not pass the test, and they were re-collected in the center of the weaving layout and re-dismantled!" ”
Lin Ying's face changed greatly!
